A life is lost a childhood taken & yet everything is politically connected leading to a so called secular country getting divided on caste & religion because that digresses from the reality that our country, the silent government & its leaders still don’t respect woman or lives. https://t.co/TRNyTB8E3r— Arjun Kapoor (@arjunk26) April 12, 2018

The act was performed in a temple. If you are a Hindu and you hold your faith dear, HOW ARE YOU NOT OUTRAGED BY THIS? https://t.co/CexY06A3Za— TheRichaChadha (@RichaChadha) April 12, 2018

In Unnao the brother of the alleged rapist is arrested for beating the father of the rape victim which caused his death . So far police has not taken any action in the rape case .The MLA is walking free and has the audacity to call the victim n her Family ” lowly people “ .— Javed Akhtar (@Javedakhtarjadu) April 11, 2018

A 8 year old is drugged, raped & murdered and another one is fighting for justice for herself and the death of her father in custody.We have a choice either raise your voice or be a silent spectator.‘Stand up for what is right even if you are standing alone.’#Kathua#Unnao— Riteish Deshmukh (@Riteishd) April 12, 2018

Utterly appalling that slogans like “Jai Shri Ram” and “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” are being used to defend perpetrators of heinous crimes. These vicious beasts will destroy India and Hinduism. #Unnao#Kathua— रanviर_ डhoरeय_ (@RanvirShorey) April 12, 2018

So pained to read about #Unnao & #Kathua rapes.. how strongly the government responds will be its true test @PMOIndia .. at least I won’t vote for them coming elections if they don’t take action this time..— Tisca Chopra (@tiscatime) April 12, 2018

According to reports, the girl was held captive inside a ‘Devisthan’ or a temple and gang-raped. Two separate charge sheets have been foiled against the eight accused persons, including a juvenile. The incident has left everyone appalled and shaken. We just hope that the outrage doesn’t die down before justice is met to the little girl.
